Chelsea Beat Man City To Win Champions League

 Chelsea fans are celebrating the biggest prize in European club football for a second time after their team beat Manchester City in the Champions League final in Portugal.

More than 16000 supporters were allowed into the stadium in Porto. The host city was changed, of course, from Istanbul because of coverage restrictions. 

Nine years on, from their first taste of European glory, Chelsea crowned champions once again put on a frenetic night in Porto. 

They had to keep fighting right to the wire on paper. Manchester City were all out attack, but their best early opportunity was thwarted by a perfectly timed challenge from Antonio Ruediger, goalless after a frenzied first 40 minutes. 

And then this Toasties most expensive player of all time high havert securing the all important breakthrough cumulation on the pitch from the stands and many more back.

 After the break, city's pain worsened as a nasty clash ended, Kevin de Bruyne, his night early city, still threw everything at it and came close to leveling in the dying seconds.

 But when Richard Moross shot went agonizingly wide, that was it. Back home, it was heartbreak for those in Manchester and joy down in West London.

In Porto, they'll be contrasting emotions felt by fans as they start to make their way home. For Chelsea supporters, the logistics and expense of the numerous covid tests and hiked up flight and hotel costs has all been worthwhile. 

Manchester City were denied the biggest honor that had so far eluded them. Instead, in its third all English Champions League final, it was to be Chelsea's night and the celebrations were in full flow.
